CONSTRUCTION with a Jeffboat hopper is what you get.

Let us prove it.

Certainly all rake barges appear to be the same. But appearances can be fooling.

For instance, Jeffboat welding stands alone for quality and detail supervision. After a weld, there is a slag residue. Jeffboat eliminates this slag upon inspections, to be sure that the weld is true and strong. In addition to painstaking care in welding, Jeffboat offers you superior fitting, joining, sizing and plate preparation.

A century of craftsmanship with generations of dedicated vessel designers and builders is behind every Jeffboat barge.

As a result, you get a heavier, better constructed, truly crafted vessel for years of profitable service.

But don't just take us on trust.

Trust your own figures.

We invite comparison—the en- tire life of the vessel is the true cost of ownership, not the initial investment. No one can match the added service of our vessels,
